With a current world population of 6.8 billion, projected to be 9 billion by 2050, what will our lives be like in another fifty years? Our consumption is causing scarcity of resources, food production is struggling to meet demand, almost everything we do destroys delicate ecosystems and our greenhouse gas emissions keep growing.

Meanwhile, we all believe in a basic human right to reproduce. This UTS speaks presents a diverse panel of UTS experts to speculate on a future where overpopulation may be the key force impacting every aspect of human life.

Thanks to the magic of radio, tonight we will be able to peer into the future. How will life be in the year 2050? Thanks to ABC, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and the University of Technology at Sydney, Australia and Fora Tv, we will learn of a possible future.
